um........yea.........dang. Little fuzzy on the details at the moment.

Quick outline:

1) Have to format the CD-RW blank for r/w on the fly using roxio (or whatever 3rd party prog u wanna use)

2) Setup the backup program (XP comes with one-can schedule) to backup whatever whenever at the intervals you want.

3) When asked where you wanna save the data in the backup prog select the drive that the CD-RW is in. Need to leave the CD-RW in there all the time--at least make sure its in of course when the time comes etc....

Any CD-RW will do, just not CD-R

Quick search on google.com will reveal how to use the backup prog built into XP-also has a help file but its pretty easy to use.

Roxio is the only prog that I know of that will format a CD-RW so that you can r/w 'on the fly' instead of reformatting the whole thing---there are others out there but I just don't do CD-RWs so....
